NEW YORK (AP) - Southern California's last-second win over Notre Dame was seen by 30 million viewers, making it the most watched regular-season college football game in nine years.

NBC's coverage of the top-ranked Trojans' 34-31 victory on Saturday earned a 6.7 national rating, which tied it with the Ohio State-Notre Dame in 1996 for the highest-rated Fighting Irish game on the network in more than a decade. The games are tied for the fourth-highest rating in the 15 years NBC has been broadcasting Notre Dame football.

In addition to turning the Irish around on the field, Charlie Weis is also helping their TV ratings. NBC's first two broadcasts have averaged a 5.3, 66 percent better than the 3.2 average after the first two broadcasts last season.
